wednesday 15 jan/2014, not Ulysses but even the dog was excited.

Well this is an exciting day. First of all got an email with advice that my eldest goddaughter has been captured on camera while meditating.. this looks marvellous, but not at all like herself. Then James is home full of enthusiasm for Tanzania and the K climb. He has a certificate which shows that he has successfully reached the summit, the name of the summit, the time .. they arrive in time for the sunrise, hence they walk in the dark, from midnight to dawn reaching the peak about 0610. He said on the route up they walked a zig sag path up a slippery but frozen scree slope, but on the way down they ran down the scree for about a kilometre. This being Wednesday there are math tutoring and saxophone lessons.. .I am making the cassolet and to my dismay the garlic sausage C bought has no garlic.. it is not a pleasant tasting sausage.. it is funny that the French , on the whole , do not make great sausage. They need some east europeans to set up a butcher shop. Coming from the prairies, garlic sausage is part of your kitchen supply. When C come to BC she always buys a garlic sausage, saying that she just cannot find the same thing in France. Anyhow, the dish has lots of garlic clove added and the confit is always interesting. It is now cooking in the oven on a low temp for nearly 3 hours.
